Recycling of Brotherhood Rumors
The study confirmed that social media platforms have become a primary venue for disseminating information and news, but they have also transformed into fertile ground for misleading content. Terrorist groups, such as the Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood), exploit the rapid spread of digital content to recycle old news, archival images, and videos from past events, linking them to new incidents to attract attention and distort facts. They employ methods such as publishing outdated news with new headlines by deleting dates and associating them with current events, presenting old statements as recent, and selectively sharing parts of the truth out of context to change their meaning. Furthermore, misinformation relies on the persistent repetition of the same content across multiple accounts to create a false impression of widespread dissemination and a major crisis, even though much of the information does not reflect reality. The study encourages verifying the source of news, studying full details carefully, and raising public awareness about how to identify recycled or excerpted content. It emphasizes that high circulation does not necessarily indicate the accuracy of information, and that the ability to pause, refrain from sharing, and seek out the original source is essential in combating digital misinformation.
